What better gift for your child than something that the whole family can enjoy? The Singing Machine SML-383 claims to be just the kind of gift. It's a portable karaoke machine that comes with its very own flashing lights. But can a machine of this size really deliver?
Features Of The Singing Machine SML-383
- Plays CDs and CD+Gs,
- Includes one sampler CD,
- Can plug into TV for scrolling karaoke lyrics,
- Has its own built in disco lights,
- Two microphone jacks,
- Comes with one microphone included,
- Built in volume control,
- Balance and echo controls,
- Speakers built in but can connect to external audio equipment,
- 7.3 x 13 x 15.5 inches in size.
Click Here to compare Singing Machine with other Karaoke Machines at Amazon.com
Is The Singing Machine SML-383 Worth Buying?
One of the best things about this Singing Machine model is the fact that it's so portable. It has a small handle built in, so it's easy for kids to take around to their friends' houses, bring into the living room to play with the family, or even take into the garden! Even better, the Singing Machine is extremely affordable as far as karaoke players go.
The inevitable drawback, of course, is sound quality. You just can't expect professional-sounding karaoke from a machine of this size and price. The inbuilt speakers are a little quiet, too, so if you want something louder then you may want to hook it up to some external speakers.
The CD that comes included with the Singing Machine SML-383 is suited to young children, so if you're buying the machine for older kids then it's well worth buying some extra karaoke CDs at the same time. Thankfully this machine can handle them, and can even be connected up to your TV if you want to watch the lyrics on screen.
The best thing about the Singing Machine SML-383 is the fact that it comes with little details that can make a big difference to the experience. The included lights are fun, and many kids enjoy playing on the machine with the lights turned off. It even comes with an echo to improve sound quality, and an auto voice control mode for use during practice sessions.
In short, this isn't the highest quality karaoke machine available to buy. That said, it's cheap, it's portable and it comes in a durable child-friendly design. It'll make a fun gift for any child, especially if they've already got an interest in singing, and it's a gift that the whole family can enjoy together.

As much as her wardrobe appeared to tick all the boxes on her recent Asia and South Pacific tour, it turns out that the Duchess of Cambridge's outfits weren't entirely diplomatic, after all.
The royal inadvertenly committed a fashion faux pas in the Solomon Islands, where, following tradition, she had offered to dress in local fashion.
Instead, Catherine stepped out in a dress from the Cook Islands - over 4,800km away, reports the Telegraph.
The bold, floral, strapless number, made with contrasting layers of hot pink, white and orange printed fabric, was given to the Duchess to wear to the Honiara dinner - but local staff apparently laid out the wrong design in the Duchess' private room.
Despite the royal entourage double-checking the clothes and being given a green light by the welcoming party, it was later learnt that the gaffe, apparently saluting an entirely different Pacific nation, caused "incredible frustration".
Clarence House explained: "We saw they weren't the same design of the traditional clothes we were told would be gifted, so we checked with the Solomon Islands government to ensure the right ones were worn.
"We were reassured the clothes were correct, and so the Duke and Duchess wore them to the event. It was not learned until later in the evening that the clothes weren't from the islands. But it was understood that the Duke and Duchess intended to wear traditional Solomon Island clothes and this was appreciated. No offence was caused."
Meanwhile, Solomon Islands officials are keen to distance themselves from the error, apportioning the blame entirely on the shoulders of one Kethie Sunder, part of the welcoming committee.
"We are incredibly frustrated that this situation has come about and see Kethie as entirely to blame", officials said.
"It was completely inappropriate for her to go to Their Royal Highnesses' room, which she filled with various things, causing confusion."
William wore a blue floral shirt, apparently managing to avoid to the fall-out from Ms Sunder's over-zealous organisational style.
Topless or strapless - Catherine seems to be having trouble avoiding sartorial slips at the moment.

Additional Ways to Shop: Ascend
Nowadays, it's hard to find private property where good hunting opportunities are available that's not posted.
Thirty years ago, I rarely encountered problems when I wanted to hunt on private land. I was taught early in my hunting career that it was proper etiquette to gain permission before hunting on another person's property, which I always did. But often as not, if the landowner said it was okay for me to hunt, I also was told to "Come back and hunt any time you like; no need to stop and ask."
Nowadays, it's hard to find private property where good hunting opportunities are available that's not posted.
Back then, it was rare to see a "No Trespassing" or "No Hunting" sign. And folks didn't seem to worry much if a youngster with a shotgun was traipsing around their property chasing small game. Most of us back then figured it would always be that way.
It's not that way now, however. Times have changed, and nowadays, it's hard to find private property where good hunting opportunities are available that's not posted. Often as not, if a landowner is willing to talk to a prospective hunter at all, it's only to inform him that hunting isn't allowed.
Despite the reluctance of many landowners to allow hunting on their property I still do most of my hunting on private lands. Usually, I'm on land owned by someone who's known me for years. But on many occasions, I've received permission to hunt in woods and fields owned by people I've only recently met. The types of game I've been allowed to pursue include everything from cottontails and bobwhites to deer and snipe.
In case you didn't know, about 60 percent (1.28 billion acres) of all land in the 48 contiguous states is privately owned. In some states, private ownership is closer to 90 percent.
It stands to reason then that many of the best hunting opportunities are on private land, and as the limited acreage encompassed by public hunting grounds becomes more and more crowded (not only with hunters, but with birders, off-road vehicle enthusiasts, campers and other outdoor recreationists as well), more of us will be seeking ways to gain access to private hunting areas. Whether or not we succeed in those attempts will depend on our ability to befriend the landowner and gain his or her confidence and trust.
The First Step: Be a Friend
Knocking on a landowner's door and asking permission to hunt each time you visit is common courtesy. But what makes you different from the many other people who come to his door each year asking the same favor? The answer to that question may determine whether or not you're granted access for hunting.
In my experience, you must show the property owner you're a friend, and not just someone asking a favor, if you expect to have any chance of obtaining hunting permission. Too often, hunters show up with no previous introductions or at inopportune times. Worse yet, many don't show up at all, choosing instead the impersonal phone call as a means for asking permission.
Put yourself in the landowner's place. You've worked hard to manage the wildlife on your property. You've invested thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of time. Now, a stranger shows up, or calls, and asks permission to hunt the game on your land. You've never met the person before, don't know anything about him and here he is wanting to walk around on your property carrying a gun. What would you do?
Now, imagine another scenario -- you're the landowner, and you're on the back forty one morning stacking brush you've cut to make cover for cottontails and quail. Your friend Tom drives up with a stranger in the seat beside him.
"John, I'd like you to meet Jerry," your friend says. "We attend the same church, and Jerry told me he's been looking for a place to hunt rabbits. I told him you had quite a few cottontails on your property, and if the two of you got acquainted, maybe you'd be willing to let him hunt on your place now and then."
Following the introductions, Tom and Jerry pitch in to help you with the brushpiles. You chat for several hours as you work, getting better acquainted with Jerry. And when it's time to quit, Jerry asks if you and your wife might let him treat you to dinner at the local restaurant sometime.
In this situation, don't you imagine you'd be more inclined to grant hunting permission to Jerry than you would if he showed up out of the blue on your doorstep?
Here's another one -- you're working under your wheat combine in the shed when you hear this voice. A stranger hunkers down next to you, tells you his name and where he lives, and mentions that he enjoys hunting quail. "How 'bout you, sir? You ever hunt quail?" the man asks.
"Uh-huh," you say, in a voice that shows your distraction. "Hand me that crescent wrench, would you?"
The man complies with your request, then compliments you on the beautiful bird habitat you've worked so hard to create. You really don't have much time for all this chatter right now though. The combine has to be fixed today.
Then, to your surprise, the man crawls under the combine and asks if he might lend a hand breaking loose that stubborn bolt you've been working on.
When the two of you finally crawl out three hours later, you offer a greasy handshake and invite the man to come up to the house and join you and your wife for lunch. He agrees, and he seems genuinely pleased to see your combine working again.
"Looks like that fence around your hog pen needs some mending," he says as you walk to the house. "I could come back Saturday and give you a hand if you like."
Are you starting to get the picture yet?
The true sportsman becomes a real friend to the landowner and not just a beggar hoping for a handout. In some cases, your contribution might be nothing more than a willingness to spend a little time visiting or an invitation to join you for a meal. In other instances, it may be something more concrete, like helping build a new fence or even offering to pay for the privilege to hunt.
You won't gain hunting permission every time you ask, even if you are a friend. Some people still worry about liability. Some reserve hunting privileges for family and close friends. Some prefer not to allow hunting on their land at all; they manage their property so wildlife can be seen but not killed.
The ethical outdoorsman realizes this may happen, and takes it in stride, remaining ever so polite and showing gratefulness for the landowner's time. Leaving a good impression is important, no matter what happens, because word travels fast through the grapevine. Rude or inconsiderate people will find themselves blacklisted, with no place to hunt. The thoughtful, polite individual, on the other hand, may find himself receiving hunting invitations from people he hasn't even met.
Step Two: Show Your Appreciation
If you are given an opportunity to hunt on someone else's property, it's important to show you're appreciative of that gesture.
The first way to do that is to show respect for the landowner's property. Always pick up spent shells and litter, including items left by other visitors. Hunt only where the landowner wants you to, keeping safely away from his house, barns and livestock, and respecting his crops. Don't stretch or break fences you cross, and latch gates securely when you pass through. Leave everything as you found it, and follow any special guidelines the property owner gives you. For example, some landowners might request that you avoid shooting any quail you might see while hunting other game. You should assure the owner you'll follow all the guidelines you are given, then keep that promise.
As important as everything else is what you do after you hunt. Never leave without stopping back by and saying thanks. Offer to share any game you killed, and ask the owner if you could come back to help around the place sometime in the near future. Let your good manners show.
When you get home, find ways to show the landowner you're not just a hunting-season friend. Send a gift at Christmas and for birthdays. Write a letter now and then, or phone to say hello. Invite your host to eat at your home and meet your family. Ask them to a special event. Stay in touch year-round, and show that you really are a friend.
Finally, send a thank-you note, and do so every time you visit. You'll be surprised how much such a simple gesture means to people. And you'll be pleased when you have a new friend who enjoys your visits as much as you.

Despite a rich history as a former militia drill ground and Detroit's "Point of Origin" in the city's coordinate system, Campus Martius Park became known as "pigeon plaza" because it was useless to anyone but the birds.
Since its renovation in 2004, the park has catalyzed $700 million in surrounding development including cafes, retail shops, an ice-skating rink, and a 1-million-square-foot Compuware World Headquarters. Now the park is known as "Detroit's Official Gathering Place."
For this, the park recently received the Urban Land Institute's (ULI) Amanda Burden Urban Open Space Award. "It reflects a creative, innovative approach to transforming an eyesore into a jewel. Campus Martius Park is a magnet for investment. That's the definition of a successful urban open space," says Burden, founder of the award.
Run by the Detroit 300 Conservancy in a public-private partnership with the city, the park was designed by Rundell Ernstberger Associates LLC, David R. Gebhardt, Illuminating Concepts, Quinn/Evans Architects, Tucker Young Jackson Tull Inc., WET Design, and Wexler Studio. Detroit 300's successor company funded construction as part of a legacy gift to the city.
Detroit 300 Conservancy received a $10,000 cash prize, a commemorative statuette, and was recognized in an awards ceremony at ULI's Spring Council Forum.

Despite Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's announcement that there would be no immediate action, the central bank could be setting up for further easing in the future, PIMCO CEO and co-CIO Mohamed El-Erian told CNBC on Friday.
"First, Bernanke provided a very robust defense of what he's done so far. Secondly, he told usp Problems were cyclical, not structural. And finally, he told us that costs are containable, they're manageable. So, in my opinion, he is laying the ground for more activism from the Fed," he said on "Fast Money."
El-Erian also pointed to three things to watch in what Bernanke does.
"Be very careful between his willingness, his ability and his effectiveness: Willingness, huge. Ability, more limited because his tools are imperfect. And effectiveness, even more limited," he said.
"If you want to bet on the Fed, you're looking at the short end of the Treasury curve. You're looking at related high-quality corporates. You're looking at mortgages and related sales of volatility. You also should recognize that the market will protect itself from the inflation threat, so hard assets — especially gold — will benefit. If you want to go all the way to risk assets — equities and high-yield — remember that you are dependent on China and Europe when you go all the way out there."

President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney know the importance of winning Virginia. The battleground state could determine who sits in office next term. The student vote could be a determining factor.
"There's been a lot of voter apathy among my generation, and I think that we really need to over come that. We can be the deciding factor I think in this election, or at least play major portion one way or the other," said University of Virginia student Riley Panko.
Both political sides recognize that President Obama had a groundswell of support from students in 2008, some say that's no longer the case.
"I think the times have changed," said Gov. Bob McDonnell (R-Virginia). "I think that young people had a disproportional high share of unemployment graduating from college with debt and can't find a job."
The national unemployment rate still sits above 8 percent. That number has been holding steady for eight months.
UVa student Tess Goodman said, "I think he still got a lot of support and I think he's still the person that lot of people on college campuses is going to choose."
Republicans say that Romney is gaining young voters.
"I'm encouraging young folk to get out, get involved, make a difference and vote for Romney," said McDonnell.
The final decision could be determined, either way, by student voters.

Grandma's gold chain taken at wake
BRIDGEWATER, Mass. — A Bridgewater man has been charged with stealing a $5,000 gold chain from around his dead grandmother's neck as she lay in her casket.
Police say 25-year-old Shawn Michael Wilde, who has the words "only God can judge me" tattooed on his chest, showed up at a funeral home about 30 minutes before Mary Baroni's funeral on Jan. 28 and asked for a few minutes alone to say a prayer.

Explore 'How fair is Britain?'
Responses to Call for Evidence
Creating a fairer Britain
With the assent of the Equality Act in 2006, Section 12 of the Act endowed the newly-formed Equality and Human Rights Commission with a responsibility to monitor the progress that society makes towards becoming one that is more equal, where every individual has the opportunity to achieve their potential, and where people treat each other with dignity and respect. This progress must be reported on every 3 years. Incorporated into our 2009-2012 Strategic Plan under Priority 5, 'Building an authoritative and responsive organisation' the Commission began the process of compiling this Review, to meet our obligations under the Equality Act.
The Triennial Review project formally begun in July 2009, with the aim of utilising the Equality Measurement Framework (EMF) indicators as a starting point on which to build our Review. The EMF operated as a skeleton which allowed the Triennial Review team to conduct some initial data-scoping exercises in relation to the EMF indicators, and identify any gaps in data that could be filled by external research contractors. By Christmas 2009 seven research institutions had been commissioned to conduct gap-filling research and analysis for the Triennial Review, focusing on secondary analysis of existing data, identifying small-scale and qualitative research projects, and gauging the performance of the protected equality groups against the indicators in the EMF.
Alongside this, the Commission also invited stakeholders to submit their experiences of inequality and unfairness via our Call for Evidence between October 2009 and January 2010. We received submissions from 113 different sources, which included face-to-face/telephone discussions as well as email/postal and online contributions. These submissions, some from organisations presenting information and data relating to their own stakeholders, and others from individuals and concerned members of society who felt that Britain is not a society free from discrimination, helped to develop our thinking around the Triennial Review, tying the lived experiences of stakeholders, to the data that we were amassing. A number of the submissions were confidential, but we have been able to publish 87 of the Call for Evidence submissions here on our website.
Through the early months of 2010, alongside the ongoing drafting of the chapters, the Triennial Review team sought to produce early 'initial analyses' drafts for each of the equality strands - collating the information received from stakeholders, internal desk research, as well as the research being conducted by the commissioned institutions (above). These documents were prepared in anticipation of seven strand-based roundtables (as well as a roundtable focusing on Human Rights, and one on the Private Sector), at which we spoke with 97 different stakeholders about our initial research and findings, and welcomed comments and feedback on our early work. These sessions proved to be incredibly helpful, validating some of our analysis and challenging other findings as well as directing us towards further areas and issues for consideration..
In June 2010, the commissioned research was received by the Triennial Review team, and was incorporated into Part II of the draft Review. At this point, the draft chapters were sent to Government departments. ¹ for fact-checking to ensure that our research was incorporating the most up-to-date data, and that the data were being contextualised appropriately. Alongside this, the Commission began to look at what conclusions could be drawn from the vast swathes of data and analysis, developing the content of Part III of the Review.
By August 2010 this process was completed. On 1st October 2010, the same the day that the Equality Act 2010 came into force, the Triennial Review: How Fair is Britain? was laid before Parliament. The public launch of the Triennial Review took place on 11 October 2010.

Ford Motor Co. (F), the only large U.S. automaker that didn't receive a U.S. government bailout, would've failed along with General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC if President Barack Obama's administration hadn't rescued the industry, said Steven Rattner, who headed Obama's auto task force.
"Ford would have closed because it wouldn't have been able to get parts, because the parts industry in this country was in arguably worse shape than the assemblers," Rattner said today at the Center for American Progress in Washington.
Ford Chief Executive Officer Alan Mulally last month made similar comments, saying he doesn't regret testifying before Congress in support of taxpayer support for his competitors.

Peter Thiel pulled an iPhone out of his jeans pocket and held it up. "I don't consider this to be a technological breakthrough," he said. "Compare this with the Apollo space program." Thiel, an entrepreneur who runs both a hedge fund and a venture-capital firm, was waiting for a table at Café Venetia, which is on University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto, California. The street is the launchpad of Silicon Valley. All the café's tables were occupied by healthy, downwardly dressed people using Apple devices while discussing idea creation and angel investments. Ten years ago, Thiel met his friend Elon Musk for coffee at the same spot, and decided that PayPal, the online-payments company they had helped found, should go public. Soon after the initial public offering, in 2002, PayPal was sold to eBay for one and a half billion dollars, and Thiel's take was fifty-five million.
Most of Thiel's fortune was made within shouting distance of Café Venetia. PayPal's first office was five blocks down the street, above a bike shop. Just across the street was 156 University Avenue, the original headquarters of Facebook. In the summer of 2004, Thiel gave a Harvard dropout named Mark Zuckerberg a half-million-dollar loan, the first outside investment in Facebook, which Thiel later converted into a seven-per-cent ownership stake and a seat on the board; his share today is worth at least one and a half billion dollars. Facebook's successor at 156 University Avenue is Palantir Technologies, whose software helps government agencies track down terrorists, fraudsters, and other criminals, by detecting subtle patterns in torrents of information. Thiel co-founded Palantir in 2004 and invested thirty million dollars in it. Palantir is now valued at two and a half billion dollars, and Thiel is the chairman of the board. He might be the most successful technology investor in the world.
The information age has made Thiel rich, but it has also been a disappointment to him. It hasn't created enough jobs, and it hasn't produced revolutionary improvements in manufacturing and productivity. The creation of virtual worlds turns out to be no substitute for advances in the physical world. "The Internet—I think it's a net plus, but not a big one," he said. "Apple is an innovative company, but I think it's mostly a design innovator." Twitter has a lot of users, but it doesn't employ that many Americans: "Five hundred people will have job security for the next decade, but how much value does it create for the entire economy? It may not be enough to dramatically improve living standards in the U.S. over the next decade or two decades." Facebook was, he said, "on balance positive," because of the social disruptions it had created—it was radical enough to have been "outlawed in China." That's the most he will say for the celebrated era of social media.
Thiel rarely updates his Facebook page. He "never adapted to the BlackBerry/iPhone/e-mail thing," and began texting only a year ago. He hasn't quite mastered the voice-recognition system in his sports car. Though he owns a seven-million-dollar mansion in San Francisco's Marina District, and bought a twenty-seven-million-dollar oceanfront property in Maui in July, he sees the staggering rise in Silicon Valley's real-estate values as a sign not of progress but of "how people have found it very hard to keep up." There was almost never a free table at Café Venetia, he noted, or anywhere else on University Avenue, throwing the sanity of local housing prices into further question. Silicon Valley exuberance had become yet another sign of blinkered élite thinking.
Thiel—who grew up middle class, earned degrees from Stanford and Stanford Law School, worked at a white-shoe New York law firm and a premier Wall Street investment bank, employs two assistants and a chef, and is currently reading obscure essays by the philosopher Leo Strauss—holds élites in contempt. "This is always a problem with élites, they're always skewed in an optimistic direction," he said. "It may be true to an even greater extent at present. If you were born in 1950, and you were in the top-tenth percentile economically, everything got better for twenty years automatically. Then, after the late sixties, you went to a good grad school, and you got a good job on Wall Street in the late seventies, and then you hit the boom. Your story has been one of incredible, unrelenting progress for sixty-one years. Most people who are sixty-one years old in the U.S.? Not their story at all."
When Thiel questions the Internet's significance, it's not out of an indifference to technology. He's enraptured with it. Indeed, his main lament is that America—the country that invented the modern assembly line, the skyscraper, the airplane, and the personal computer—has lost its belief in the future. Thiel thinks that Americans who are beguiled by mere gadgetry have forgotten how expansive technological change can be. He looks back to the fifties and sixties, the heyday of popularized science and technology in this country, as a time when visions of a radically different future were commonplace. A key book for Thiel is "The American Challenge," by the French writer J. J. Servan-Schreiber, which was published in 1967 and became a global best-seller. Servan-Schreiber argued that the dynamic forces of technology and education in the U.S. were leaving the rest of the world behind, and foresaw, by 2000, a post-industrial utopia in America. Time and space would no longer be barriers to communication, income inequality would shrink, and computers would set people free: "There will be only four work days a week of seven hours per day. The year will be comprised of 39 work weeks and 13 weeks of vacation. . . . All this within a single generation."

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — After reserve quarterback Ron Kellogg capped his first drive Saturday with a touchdown throw, he sprinted over to the sideline and wrapped his arms around Bo Pelini.
Never mind the fact that the offense had sputtered through the first quarter on a frigid afternoon in one of the most raucous environments in college football. One 27-yard pass to Quincy Enunwa early in the second quarter wasn't going to decide anything — and Kellogg knew it.
But he's always looking for ways to lighten the mood. Even the head coach who normally spends game day stressing, and pacing, and screaming, and strategizing can benefit from a little silliness.
"I just told him 'keep giving me the ball,'" Kellogg said.
Pelini smiled back at him.
"I was being a dork. Just wanted to lighten his mood up a little bit. He gets a little serious every now and then," Kellogg said. "I told him, 'Hey, there's nothing to worry about. We're going to keep rolling.' "
But Kellogg found a way to follow through. Again.
His effort off the bench in Nebraska's 23-20 overtime win at Penn State Saturday might not stick in minds as long as his Hail Mary to beat Northwestern. But it was important nonetheless.
Kellogg completed 20 of his 34 passes to eight receivers for a total of 191 yards, battling through windy and sometimes blizzard-like conditions. He bounced back from tough hits. He stayed positive despite his own mistakes.
This one-time walk-on from Omaha, who waited three full years before getting an in-game snap and four years to get a scholarship, was the one Nebraska called on to lead a banged-up offense in a gut-check game on the road.

The World-Herald's Dirk Chatelain takes a look at the key factors in the Huskers' 23-20 win over Penn State.
"It felt great," Kellogg said. "Not too many people can say they were in a situation like this. I'll cherish these moments for the rest of my life."
He'll remember everything. The snow flurries that twice covered the field like a fog. The heat-producing packets he stuffed in the muff at his waist, and the parkas he tried to steal from teammates by the bench. The neck massages he was receiving from trainers after getting popped near the goal line. The constant reassurances he gave the offensive line on the sideline — "I'm 230. I'm durable!" — even though he was taking hit after hit, each one stinging a tad more as the game wore on.
Kellogg walked off the field and into the tunnel after the win, letting out a giant exhale of relief. He confessed to his teammates in the locker room how much this one meant to him.
Senior tackle Jeremiah Sirles sees the significance.
"To come in, on the road, in a hostile environment like Penn State, get us a 'W' in a blizzard, is pretty remarkable," Sirles said.
But Kellogg was far from perfect.
All he had to do was hand the ball off when NU was backed up at his own goal line in the fourth quarter, but he dropped a shotgun snap with 1:22 left. A pass interference penalty on the next play got NU out of the jam.
Kellogg was sacked on the first possession of the third quarter, caught holding the ball too long while he waited for routes to break open on a third-and-1. He thought he saw Cover 1 coverage, but he forgot to tuck the ball away. The fumble led to a Penn State touchdown.
Kellogg reminded himself to stay positive.
"You have to have a short memory playing the quarterback position, especially on the road," he said.
That's always been his role, anyway — to get guys chuckling, even when they'd rather crawl into a hole.
Kellogg was the third-string quarterback who said he wanted to be friends with everyone. Teammates noticed his strong arm and his analytical mind. But they were drawn in because of his charm and fun-loving nature. Then they realized how hard he worked.
Before he ever took control of the offense, Kellogg figured he could inspire and motivate others.
That's why he wanted to score so badly on his first possession.

The coaches had planned on Kellogg getting the fourth series of the game. It just so happened that Tommy Armstrong hurt his ankle to end the third drive.
Take away a 24-yard run by Ameer Abdullah, and the offense had amassed only 17 yards before Kellogg trotted onto the field.
He fired a 14-yard bullet to Jordan Westerkamp on his first throw. He completed his next three passes, the final one to Enunwa on a quick slant that gave Nebraska a 7-6 lead.
"I just wanted to set a tone for my first series," Kellogg said.
He hoped to do it again in the fourth, when he didn't hesitate to lower his shoulder for a potential go-ahead score. No one was surprised, either. Most were certain he'd get the touchdown.
Instead, Kellogg was thumped a yard short of the end zone. His fumble on the play was recovered by sophomore Sam Burtch.
"I knew it was going to hurt," Kellogg said. "That was a stupid mistake now that I think about it."
He laughed about it with teammates in the locker room, though. They always give him a hard time when he runs with the football.
Kellogg doesn't mind. He'd do it again and again.
"I spent five years working my tail off for an opportunity like this," Kellogg said. "And now that it finally came, I don't want it to go away."

Do you have to diable the onboard video on the dh67blb3 motherboard for a seperate video card to work? I'm trying to use a radeon 6970 but every time I put it in the computer won't boot up, it boots fine with the card out. Is this a card problem or is there something I need to do to the motherboard to recognize the video card?
The PCI Express* slot will automatically disable the onboard graphics after installing the card; there is no setting at a BIOS level to do so.
Our recommendation is confirming compatibility information with the card manufacturer, if possible test with a different one to narrow the issue.
In the configuration menu of DH67BL bios, there is a video settings line. (I own a DH67GD with same hardware/bios).
Entering this sub menu you will find several choices.
Usually, as said before, everything is in auto mode and your PCIe card should be detected with a monitor plugged in, however there are so much possibilities that it is better to check these settings.
What Power supply do you have , Most HD 6970s Draw about 70 Amps , and have one 6 pin plug and one 8 Pin Plug , with a card like this most Mfg. would say a Min. 550 watt , I would use a 850 watt . Because you have alot of other stuff that eats power. Did you have another card before you installed the HD6970?

9141 S Highway Dr, Circle Pines, MN | Directions 5501445.137524 -93.167733
Great Mexican food, good prices, attentive wait staff....local owners....love their salsa and chimichangas! Yummmy.
Authentic Mexican Food – We live in the Circle Pines area and normally to get good quality, AUTHENTIC Mexican food, I have to drive all the way down to Concord Street in South Saint Paul. This is just up the road and WE LOVE IT! My Grandparents were from Mexico City, so I know authentic. The decore and colors on the wall are all "the real deal" The prices are affordable, especially at lunch---6 or 7 or 8 bucks for entrees. The menu has many choices...I like the basics, all good, and the mocahete is phenomenal!!
More American than Mexican – You definitely get your money's worth with large portions, free re-fills, and a very attentive waitstaff. Be forewarned though that is far from authentic Mexican fare. If you order a chili relleno it is made with a bell pepper. The waitress told me this up front and that for an additional charge they will use the correct chili para rellenar so I would not be disappointed. The majority of the waitstaff is actually from my hometown in Leon, Guanajuato so I always love chit-chatting with them about "the old stomping grounds" Many places will charge extra for drink (non-alcoholic, claro!) and duritas (chips) re-fills, not so here. All in all a very good value and pleasant experience as long as you know ahead of time that the dishes are far more American than Mexican.
Best Mexican food outside of Mexico! – My husband loves Mexican food - so we've tried it all. This is the only place in the Twin Cities to prepare authentic Mexican food the way we had it in Mazatlan. Absolutely the best! Plus, fast, friendly service, and a very good value! The only negative thing I have to say is that the atmosphere is very Perkins-like. But, everything else makes up for it.
Great Food, Great Price – The service is fast and food is wonderful here. I would recommend this over any Mexican chain that the Twin Cities offers. Fun atmosphere for groups with great specials on drinks during Happy Hour.

Roberto Di Matteo is without Ashley Cole for the visit of Liverpool on Sunday, but may start John Terry with the defender fit and available once more.
Terry has now served his four-match domestic suspension, and although he was an unused substitute in midweek against Shakhtar Donetsk, could return to face the Reds, though Cole will be absent once more with a hamstring injury. Frank Lampard also remains out with a calf injury.
'Probably Sunday is a bit too early for him but hopefully he will be back for us for the next game against West Brom a week later,' the manager said on Cole, who sustained the problem at Swansea last weekend.
On Squad News
Terry's availability means the potential return of the captain, whose presence usually coincides with increased defensive discipline through the side, though Di Matteo was quick to stress nobody is guaranteed a place in the team, and that rotation may continue.
'He is going to be available for Sunday. He is in a good position to be involved,' the manager reported. 'I am pleased his ban is over now and we can have him available for the rest of the season. We have a lot of competition in the team, a lot of internationals, who have a lot of quality at a high level.
'[JT] had played only one competitive game in four weeks and you have to take that into consideration. He'll be a big asset for us and I'm so happy that he's back.
'I don't think anybody is guaranteed a starting place, they all have to work and be fighting for their place in the team.
'David Luiz has played a little more than the others but I've been trying to rotate the players a bit to keep the team as fresh as possible and will continue to do so. To play every three or four days is very tough and demanding for everybody, but we have the options to change and bring in fresh players. It's wise to do so or we'll hit the wall at some point.
'It's not just about the defenders, it's about the team and everybody has to help out when the opposition has the ball. We know what we have to do and we will improve over time for sure.
'It's a question of the 11 players on the pitch being responsible for the defensive organisation. We've conceded a goal more than Manchester city and four less than united, so we know we need to improve in certain areas but the other teams don't look that far away from us.'
On Liverpool
Di Matteo will be keen for his men to be on guard against a Liverpool side that has won the last four league meetings between the two sides.
'They're our bogey team,' he said. 'They seem always to play exceptionally well against us and get results. It's always a difficult game against Liverpool and it's difficult to beat them. It hasn't happened too often in the last three seasons and we have to be aware of that, focused, and try to play a good game to be able to win.
'They always seem to play us in a moment where we are not at our best. On Sunday we are in good spirit, full of confidence and the team is playing well so hopefully it will be a different story.'
Brendan Rodgers's side was beaten 1-0 by Guus Hiddink's Anzhi Makhachkala on Thursday evening, but having studied the Liverpool line-up, Di Matteo expects a strong Reds side at the Bridge.
'I think it looks like he has left the whole team that will play on Sunday at home so they will be very fresh,' he said, before discussing striker Luis Suarez.
'He's a magnificent player, and very dangerous. They don't have many other strikers but they have some young talented players and some experienced players, Glen Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Gerrard, Enrique are all Premier League players with a lot of games in their legs.'
On Club Profits
Di Matteo also reacted to the news that Chelsea made a £1.4 million profit for the year to June 2012, the first time this has been achieved since Roman Abramovich bought the club in 2003.
'I said in the past we are in favour of financial fair play. We are doing everything in our power to comply with the rules and this is great news for the club,' he said. 'For the first time we have been able to achieve a profit, also thanks to the success on the field but off the field with new sponsor deals and the transfer market, so going forward I think that puts Chelsea Football Club in a strong position to remain competitive domestically and internationally.'

January 25, 2013
For more than 50 years, the Charlottesville unit of national non-profit Learning Ally has helped provide hundreds of thousands of audiobooks for the disabled.
Due to lack of funding and changing technology, the local studio closed its doors Friday, but not before volunteers like Bob Edgerton slipped on their headphones and pressed record one last time.
Edgerton estimates he has spent about 3,000 hours in the recording booth donating his time reading books, mostly mathematics textbooks, for people who are blind, dyslexic or have other disabilities.
As a retired professor, Edgerton understands the importance of having as many tools as possible for academic success. Before the studio closed, he was working on developing guidelines for teaching math to dyslexic students, something he says he became very passionate about.
"They have real talents which are not being recognized," he said. "[The audiobooks] will help them to overcome some of the impediments to that recognition."
The hundreds of local Learning Ally volunteers have never met the folks on the receiving end of their audio recordings, but volunteer Jane Hamre says their long hours in the booths haven't gone unnoticed.
"We know that it's doing so much good, and we hear from them and they write back and say how thankful they are that we're doing this for them," Hamre said.
Hamre, like many others, has been making recordings for more than a decade. She says not heading to the studio every week will take some getting used to because it has become a part of her life.
"I don't think it's sunk in yet. I know that next week I'll be thinking that when Friday comes around I'll have to go into the studio and read," said Hamre. "It just hasn't hit me yet."
But volunteers will still be able to contribute to Learning Ally's collection of audiobooks, just not from its Remson Court studio.
Learning Ally's director of media relations, Doug Sprei, says they hope people like Edgerton and Hamre continue their efforts through virtual volunteering, a cost-cutting measure that new technology has made possible.
"There are now ways for volunteers to record from home or remote locations and not have to come to a physical studio every week," said Sprei. "They could record and create materials for people with disabilities anytime, anywhere."
Edgerton and Hamre say they're willing to give it a shot but admit they will miss the studio's social environment.
Learning Ally's Charlottesville unit has been active since 1958. It's just one of eight studios the non-profit will be closing across the country. Eleven studios will remain open, and audiobooks will continue to be available for those who need them.

I have been working at Lincare Holdings full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Love to help people, sociable position, Leader in the industry, Recession proof industry, A great way to get into Pharma sales.
Cons – Medicare dictates reimbursement rates, You are just a number, training is minamal throw you out there to start meeting goals immediately. Upper management (area managers/district managers) are supposed to help you grow, Mine rode with me one time in over a years period though he/she did ride with my sales reps but never brought back an order to the office. Meeting goals are very hard, a lot of competition out there.
Advice to Senior Management – Look to develope the Area Managers more. The guys in the trenches are a direct reflection of upper management. This includes sales reps as well as center managers.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

After looking at what previews predicted for the New Jersey Devils as a team; I look back at the individual expectations I set for each New Jersey Devil as of mid-August of 2009, comparing them with their results in 2009-10.
In the second half of reviewing my expectations made for the New Jersey Devils back from August, I find that the defensemen and goaltenders have all met or exceeded my expectations.
Back in August, I wrote a series of posts stating what I felt should be expected of each player on the current Devils roster. After a third of the season, I go back and reveal how each Devils forward has done so far against my stated expectation.
The Devils held a pre-training camp skate at the Rock today, leading to numerous reports and quotes from Tom Gulitti and Rich Chere. I highlight who was at the skate, Brian Rolston's expectation for himself going public, and the takes of David Clarkson and Brendan Shanahan about the NHLPA firing of Paul Kelly.
Colin White had a pretty good 2008-09 as a defensive defenseman. Therefore, I think - and expect - he can have an even better 2009-10 season.
Andy Greene started off 2008-09 very well, was sidelined with an injured hand for over 20 games, and then had a poor season afterwards. He was re-signed for 2 more years and that his role now has competition could push him to do better next season.
Bryce Salvador did not have a very good 2008-09 season with the New Jersey Devils, ending up as the team's #5 defender despite his salary. Can we expect more from Salvador, as the defensive defenseman turns 33?
Mike Mottau is a cheap, serviceable defenseman who can be improved upon who played with Colin White on the second pairing last season. What can we expect from him? Can we even say he had a good 2008-09 or not?
Johnny Oduya got re-signed to a sweet deal after improving for a third straight season. Can he improve for a fourth season?
Paul Martin had an excellent 2008-09 season. What can we expect from the Devils' top defenseman in 2009-10?

I am a fan of earthy/ green type scents....this thick paste oil has the essence of earth with all its dark nourishing aspects. I'd recommend it to any fan of the earth family of fragrances......10 stars

- Oakmoss is the most earthly smelling thing on earth except earth itself..great for connecting to the inner self :) (Posted on 3/26/13)
- Very concentrated absolute Review by Chris
- This absolute has the consistency of a very sticky paste. I have to use a needle to transfer it into my blends and it takes a few hours for it to dissolve into the solution at room temperature. I really like the smokey oak smell. (Posted on 2/16/13)
- amazing!! Review by cat

- Was gifted this scent, and it is now a base to 2 of my fairy themed body sprays. Review by Pwny
- I received this as a gift from a friend, who captured my personality in a scent perfectly. I adore the smell of deep mossy green. Goes well in a body wash, or body spray. My fiancee likes this with a bit of lemongrass! (Posted on 2/14/13)

McALESTER —
Pittsburg County Little Leaguer Cody Cook conects with the ball during a practice for his coach pitch Cowboys team Sunday.
McALESTER —
Pittsburg County Little Leaguer Cody Cook conects with the ball during a practice for his coach pitch Cowboys team Sunday.
Results from Thursday's Clark Bass Invitational track meet at Hook Eales Stadium in McAlester.
McAlester starting pitcher Mason Ross struck out 14 in a complete seven-inning outing, and Chad Meadows' fielder's choice scored Zach Baugh in the bottom of the seventh to give the Buffaloes a 5-4 walk-off win against the Pryor Tigers on Thursday at Mike Deak Field in McAlester.
Kiowa student and Big C.A.T.S. gymnast Katelynn Allen placed first on the balance beam and floor and second on the uneven bars and vault during Saturday's "I Am 3rd" meet at Champion Athletics in Ada.
Catching up on the last nine days of local sports.
McAlester senior Eduardo Suarez didn't start playing soccer until the summer before his junior year, but he's one of the first two-year boys' varsity soccer player in school history.
McAlester senior Parker Tidwell had played singles tennis at Puterbaugh Middle School, but switching to doubles in high school has led to three trips to state tournaments and three years on McAlester's varsity team.
Crowder's unstoppable offense produced 11 hits, drew seven walks and took six more bases on hit-by-pitches and Canadian errors, run-ruling the Cougars 17-1 in three innings Thursday at Canadian.
Neither McAlester soccer team lasted the full 80 minutes of a regulation game before the 10-goal mercy rule activated, with both the Buffaloes and Lady Buffaloes losing 10-0 to the Tulsa Edison Eagles on Friday at Hook Eales Stadium in McAlester.

The unit took two men to install as it was heavy and awkward. The open louvers above the door invites dust to come into this area - should be sealed off (like other models). There is an annoying "ticking" noise when in use. The glass plate is difficult to replace once it has been washed as the turning ring beneath it does not stay in place. The unit does a good job cooking the food and that is what it was designed for so I would recommend it to others. The price paid was similar to the first "above the stove" microwave which we purchased but the quality of the unit is no where close to the quality of our first unit.

We purchased this model from a different company - either way it is poorly designed and flimsy. The plastic vent cover (above the door) broke near one of the screws when changing the carbon filter because the plastic is very thin in that location. That is poor design because the filter needs to be changed periodically. After about 9 months, the plastic panel on the right (where all the buttons are) started to come loose. When I took it off, I found that it was held on the unit by 4 very thin plastic hooks which all broke. Mind you, it's used by my wife and I (adults), and we haven't abused it. Finally, we were cleaning it the other day (1.5 years since we bought it), and the plastic trim around the door was starting to crack just below the window. I have no idea how that happened, but it's another example of poor design.

Whirlpool is best microwave I've ever purchased
By Ducky145
from Lansing, Ia.
easy to use and like the way it tells you what to do on programing something in.
great tool with great features
By lalaangola

the best I had so far, innovative,convenient, just perfect.
This product has a very poor description.

Blends right in
By galanm
from Byron Center, MI
We built the house we are in about 2 years ago. All the appliances have the whirlpool parent company behind them. Wouldn't have it any other way.
Improve quality to rescue brand reputation.
By Snowflap
from Minneapolis, MN
Within 8 months if purchase, our WMH1163XVQ (white) began to deteriorate. The front panel finish is peeling and flaking, the area where the handle mounts is cracking, and the interior strip where the door closes flush is likewise cracking. I've read numerous reviews complaining of the same inferior quality. As a remedy, Whirlpool warrantees the door, provides a replacement, and then the consumer is out of options. As a result, a product that should last 10 years like our last one lasts less than two before consumers desire to replace what looks so unacceptable.
Easy replacement
By jomhd
from MN
Installation was easy, replaced an older version of the same unit.
Good solid microwave
By Duiz
from Dallastown, Pa
The microwave is a great product for the price. It doesn't have any special features but performs well if you just use it for basic things.
It works for me!
By Lot99
from Tuscaloosa, AL
This microwave does everything that it's supposed to do. I really like the fact that it reminds you when you have something inside. The only issue I have with my microwave is the film on the inside of the door has a bubble in it...meaning, if I wanted to, I could stick my finger inside the film and pull it off the door.

Riding the Rails: The Passenger Restaurant in Madrid
A coffee bar by day and bar by night, the restaurant serves up masterful brews by "Toma Café" and then switches to cocktails fueled by classic rock at night. Photos of great rock stars in and around trains and stations line the walls and reinforce the musical element of the concept.
I'll admit, I'm intrigued. What do you think? Would you go? Have you gone? Do tell!

Vulture investor pays $24 million for Whitney unitsby Jeff Ostrowski
Norwegian investment bank ABG Sundal Collier has closed on a $24 million deal for 140 units at The Whitney condo in downtown West Palm Beach.
A deed was recorded yesterday. The lender at the 210-unit Whitney, at 410 Evernia St.,
took back the 140 units last year in a foreclosure.
